Museum Archive: Vintage ​Strike King Model 6XD, 1oz Sexy Shad fishing lure #17826

A weight of 1 oz (28 g) gives this deep-running crankbait the mass needed to punch through the water column and reach specific strike zones. This Strike King Model 6XD, identified by product code 17826, is finished in the classic Sexy Shad pattern, characterized by a shimmering blue back, a vibrant yellow lateral stripe, and a pearlescent white belly. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing clean surfaces and crisp details across its 3 1/4" (8 cm) body. Designed for both casting and trolling, the lure features a substantial clear plastic lip engineered to achieve depths of 8 - 19.7 ft (2.4 – 6 m). Two sharp treble hooks are attached via robust split rings, ensuring a secure connection when targeting species like walleye or pike. The large black spot on the flank serves as a traditional visual trigger point common in this colorway's lineage.
